Shipping a puppy -- Is it too cold in the winter?

Just like a person getting on a flight to go meet their relatives for the holidays, shipping a puppy is very similar - probably even a little easier! All puppies ride in the belly of the plane where the temperature is kept at a comfortable 70 degrees and they are the last on and first off the plane. Airlines can be strict on the minimum temperature at the time of departure and arrivial. If the puppy cannot be shipped due to weather, it will be shipped at the first possible date.
